You have no problem with a newspaper publishing the names and addresses of everyone that has a CWP? Seems like a violation of privacy to me. And yes, I understand they are public record, but it still seems massively wrong for a newspaper to publish names and addresses without the express consent of the person.

I few this like offshore tax havens, hey it's not illegal right. no harm no foul.

Do you agree with the paper printing the names and addresses of these individuals straw?

Considering the public record aspect, no character defamation, etc, Do you think it would violate the first amendment if the paper was prohibited from printing the names and addresses of those individuals tony?

If not, whynot.

I didn't mention anything in terms of legality.What's the point of this?

It's simply pouring more idiocy into an already idiotic situation.

There is no point to this and this does lead to these individuals being harmed either physically, economically or other wise I hope this paper is held responsible
